Victor Sun 1fcab2298b HV: enable multiboot module string as kernel bootargs
Previously the VM kernel bootargs for pre-launched VMs and direct boot mode
of SOS VM are built-in hypervisor binary so end users have no way to change
it. Now we provide another option that the multiboot module string could be
used as bootargs also. This would bring convenience to end users when they
use GRUB as bootloader because the bootargs could be configurable in GRUB
menu.

The usage is if there is any string follows configured kernel_mod_tag in
module string, the string will be used as new kernel bootargs instead of
built-in kernel bootargs. If there is no string follows kernel_mod_tag,
then the built-in bootargs will be the default kernel bootargs.

Please note kernel_mod_tag must be the first word in module string in any
case, it is used to specify the module for which VM.

ACRN Hypervisor
###############

The open source `Project ACRN`_ defines a device hypervisor reference stack and
an architecture for running multiple software subsystems, managed securely, on
a consolidated system by means of a virtual machine manager. It also defines a
reference framework implementation for virtual device emulation, called the
"ACRN Device Model".

The ACRN Hypervisor is a Type 1 reference hypervisor stack, running directly on
the bare-metal hardware, and is suitable for a variety of IoT and embedded
device solutions. The ACRN hypervisor addresses the gap that currently exists
between datacenter hypervisors, and hard partitioning hypervisors. The ACRN
hypervisor architecture partitions the system into different functional
domains, with carefully selected guest OS sharing optimizations for IoT and
embedded devices.

You can find out more about Project ACRN on the `Project ACRN documentation`_
website.
